About the Beacon Overhaul mod

Introduces a tier system and better effect scaling for beacons

  • Adds night vision, fire resistance, nutrition, long reach, and slow falling as beacon effects
  • Adds a tier system for beacons, with diamond and netherite structures providing progressively increased effect potency
  • Adds a higher potency of night vision, allowing the player to see everything with midday lighting (full bright) and no fog effects
  • Adds 2 new effects to the game, Long Reach, increasing interaction reach, and Nutrition, passively restoring food levels
  • Adds a dropping mechanic to slow falling, allowing sneaking to cause a fall at normal velocity whilst still negating damage

  • Adds an increased step height to jump boost, allowing the player to step up blocks instantaneously when the effect is applied

In future releases, higher potency night vision, long reach, and nutrition may be separated into other mods for modularity

This mod is required on both the client and server, as it makes changes to the beacon's menu for clients

With Millida Launcher

  1. Install Millida Launcher

    The launcher is free: download it at millida.net/launcher and sign in with any nickname.

Manually

  1. Install Fabric

    The loader must match the game version of the mod file, for example Minecraft 1.20.1. After installing it, a separate profile appears in your launcher.

  2. Download the file for your version

    The folder is inside .minecraft (Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods). If it does not exist, create it.

  4. Launch the loader profile

    Open “Mods” in the main menu: Beacon Overhaul should be in the list.
